perhaps the most retarded idea I've ever had -

I'm aggressively pursuing quotes again and to kill some time lets do another poll about the design.

I asked the artists to kick some designs that had a 'masonic' vibe to them as an alternative to Chris.

To be clear, I don't want to do Terry because I feel that's exploitative unless done along the wishes of his family.

I also don't really want to do other living people besides Chris because Chris is the only lolcow on the site I wouldn't mind paying some money for use of their likeness. Someone like Tommy Tooter could and would sue and with some merit, and someone like Jace is just weird because Jan is very much alive and still doing shit with MDE.

The logo is already on the front so to do a reverse without relying on Chris we'd have to get creative.



If I've given people the inclination that these merchandise runs are not to offset the expenses of the forum I apologize but they absolutely are and they do help tremendously.

I do like the idea of providing people some tangible item to prove the community existed, though.

I have an idea of one medal side: Chris' face in the middle, with CWCville (Pleasantville?) below with commentary: Big brother is watching YOU.

 

[Burd Turglar]

I could do without the corn lasers. I feel like it gives too much cred to the Ethan saga. I'm seeing something in my head like instead of the corn lasers, one side is OG Chris and the other side is current Christine. As for the reverse, I do like the pointing fingers one.

Why does Chris have so much hair. I think we need to stop respecting mental illness and start respecting science.

 

[D_Tractor]

I do not support anything that gives Chris a penny. He gets enough neetbucks out of my taxes for doing nothing.

 

[Imperial Agent]

Just worth throwing out there, I think the Chris side is going to get more votes right now regardless since the competition just doesn't have a fully fleshed out design.

Is Null partnering with specific artists or just taking submissions/input from this thread?

There's two people in particular helping.

He's almost completely bald on top. He looks like tranny Ben Franklin.

and just like Ben, Chris loves lighting bolts.

I don't like these 3 near as well as Chris on the front, although the Chris on the front might be better with a better image. I know what you were going for with the Commonwealth coins all having the Queen in profile, but what about:

A copy of the front of Sonichu 1, with Chris pointing and Sonichu strutting away to 'zap to the extreme', There's likely not going to be enough room for the text in bubbles, but maybe just 'Zap to the Extreme' in either English or Latin across the top arc of the coin with 'Chris Chan & Sonichu" along the bottom arc? or maybe 'Chris Chan & Sonichu along top arc and 'Kiwi Farms 2021' on the bottom arc?

It would take a pretty good artist to render it but I think that would be a good way to represent Chris without trying to use his ugly troon profile, and if it is done right I think it would look fantastic.

I think the intention is a sort of hybrid between "Classic" Chris and the modern day.

 

[AmazingEagle]

Where can we buy these coins?

 

[Mariposa Electrique]

I think the intention is a sort of hybrid between "Classic" Chris and the modern day.

That's really dumb because Chris's hair and face have never been that feminine. There's is no difference between the Chris of today and yesteryear except for the fact that he's fatter, balder, and aged terribly.

@Null

I had to give it a try, if you like the idea feel free to use although this was done in Photoshop as a PNG, so it's not a vector. Could work as a rough guideline for the artist.

The space on the sides and bottom is for adding text or other elements, possibly "Kiwi Farms" at the bottom, the mass of the coin on one side, and some quote on the other.

This is actually really cool ngl

 

[FixinShibe]

shit, i'd buy it... how much do you plan on selling them for?

 

[K'harl Bin Jahmin]

Personally I don't like Chris because he is a troon now and owning something with a troon's face on it is very revolting to me.
I'd like something creative/funny. But that's just me and the poll favors Chris.

 

[biggest big boy]

Personally I like Chris because she is a trans woman and owning something with a trans person's face on it is very appealing to me.
I like something creative/powerful. That's just me, and the poll too favors Christine.

I love the "autism pyramid", but I don't think you'll be able to get shades of grey on a coin. What would it look like if you took this down to just line art?
The eye is also a bit too dark and busy if you ask me. I liked the Kiwi capstone better.
What if we took this design and merged it into the other pyramid design?

By the way, it took me a minute to understand why the "Moon" was there

The grayscale represents the engraving's depth, and possibly any added relief Null wants to give it, so like a "texture". However I don't know the limitations of the manufacturer or if the final idea is to make a 2D, or 3D coin. 2D is for coins with 2 layers to represent silhouettes; 3D is for "sculpting" the image into it, a more expensive process but open to more possibilities since it can have round edges.

Because of this, I think it's better to leave this part to the artist who'll make the vector and Null who'll be able to choose a texture from the manufacturer.

Sure, if they want to merge both designs go for it, this is just a guideline of what it could look like. It has all the important symbols I figured it should have: the pyramid, puzzle pieces and the moon. Maybe a vague resemblance of a kiwi on the pupil, but that may be too small.
I feel it captures the essence of what was asked.
